Looks like Liberties 

Look like it, but are they?

Hi. Sorry for the poor marketplace pic, but can anybody id the red, white and blue marbles. Thinking about purchasing the lot just because I like the looks of them, but also interested in knowing what they actually are. Supposedly dug, in WV.

Ya, although theres a 9 pattern, I'm not seeing CAC or MFC in this on. 

Peltier Peerless Patch? 36/64" dia.

Im assuming thats what these are then.

Haven't a clue on these. Very out of round, a little over 1/2" dia. Thanks

Im going out on a limb and say Vitro

Ok. I had it with Vitros then second guessed myself.

Pretty sure, but looking to confirm.

Tricky call. I have a PPP and a 7/8 Rainbo with this color combo. I was mislead by a Homemade ID when they called this color combo Peanut butter and Jelly. For a Homemade ID I thought that was good name for this color combo🔥

I was thinking PPP as well but just a guess.

PB&J.....love it. LOL.

 Nice Pelt but too small to be a RBF. Those are 7/8ths🔥

RAR

What category of Pelt? Patch or Rainbo?

Im thinking a Pelt. 19/32" dia. Possibly a Rootbeer float?

Here's one of mine that got put into the mushroom category 

That's the one I was wondering about in the lot pic.

Hi all. Wondering what this one might be. Thinking a misfit as swirl is lumpy and has cold roll creases. 11/16" dia. 9Any ideas?

Looks like a Ravenswood to me. But, I guess Alley would be the other contender. What do you think? 19/32" dia. Thanks. 

Thank you. It's a really nice looking marble and in very good condition so would love to id  to place it correctly.

I’m going with Vacor🔥

Interesting. Someone else suggested that and I just couldn't find anything similar. 

Asking for some help on another. 5/8 dia. Is it a creased pontil of a hand gathered transitional or just a cold in the glass? It's very long for a pontil.

I'm thinking Yusada here. Is that the shear mark in 2nd pic? Or just a cold roll Corkscrew? 11/16" dia. Thanks you.

If a transitional lacks a pontil and is still from Japan, Nakanishi could be a possible maker. He came from a samurai family in Osaka and also ran a large appliance and gas company—the biggest in the city at the time. In the marble field, he filed utility model patents in 1932 and 1933. The 1933 utility model 18246 describes a marble-making machine equipped with a burner to fire-polish a cut end of transitionals. He also made cut glassware.

An advertisement for Nakanishi marbles appears in Industrial Nippon To-day, published in 1935. The production volume shown in that ad is larger than that of Isogami when he switched to machine-made marbles in 1939. Isogami had fully automated production with 14 workers, turning out 1.5 million marbles per month. The number in the ad suggests that Nakanishi may also have transitioned to machine-made production in 1935. 

I haven’t found an exact match for this topic so far.

Thank you for that, very interesting. From appearance would you think this is actually Japanese?

This is just not a MFC imho.

We need some more opinions here.

@Ric?

Marble-On!!

Been a hard one to get a consensus on id in other as well.

With the lack of a pontil, others are saying MFC.

Going back and forth with others trying to place this one. 13/16" dia. Transparent purple base.
